      Bring bug spray but worth it!

      Although yes buggy, we were amazed at the food!!!! The crab bisque was the BEST. They brought a dog bowl out immediately. A park ranger had recommended it and we were so glad to find them on bring fido. Buggy bands helped a bit!

      The food and view are fabulous

      Having a dog with you was no problem at all. That always makes your feel better. The seafood was fresh, hot and fantastic. The crab soup is one of the best we've had. Oh and dessert you have to have it.

      Good experience!

      We sat on the back porch and the staff brought out a dog bowl of water for the pups. The food was fresh and came out fast. Great service!

      Bring bug spray!!!

      Cute little place. Very friendly staff. You have to sit on the patio if you have a dog and the bugs are awful. I am all bit up. We ended up asking for our food to go because the kitchen lost our ticket apparently. The food was just ok. Nothing to write home about.
